I am getting this error and don't know how to approach the problem:
After updating your package information, the essential package
'ubuntu-minimal' could not be located. This may be because you have
no official mirrors listed in your software sources, or because of
excessive load on the mirror you are using. See /etc/apt/sources.list
for the current list of configured software sources.
In the case of an overloaded mirror, you may want to try the upgrade
again later.
Can anyone please advise on what I need to do.

I rebuilt my
/etc/apt/sources.list
with help from https://askubuntu.com/questions/124017/how-do-i-restore-the-default-repositories. My sources.list had some of my custom ones and the Linode mirrors. I just replaced my sources.list with the output from https://repogen.simplylinux.ch. I ran the upgrade again and it succeeded.Example from my sources.list that failed
Output from https://repogen.simplylinux.ch that worked
